JMS,
I have noticed that with this current batch of new shows that there is no promo
for next week's episode. Is this normal, or is the local station cutting them
off?

No, the time required for the promo has been taken up by the contest
commercial; now that the contest is over, the promos will return.

Fm: DAVID BELT
Joe,
We got to see Sic Transit Vir on Saturday. Last night, for the 3rd night in a
row, after the kids are in bed, I asked my wife, "What do you want to do
tonight?", and she replied, "Let's go watch that episode again." I looked
over at her during the scene where Vir is being confronted about the fate of
the Narns and she was crying (for the third time). When I asked her why she
was crying, she said, "Not Vir. Vir can't be evil. He's the best one.
Sometimes I think he's the only truly good one."
Thanks again for such a wonderful experience. Could you tell us what the line
would have been about the bound-up Narn?
BTW, I spoke with the programming director of KHQ here in Spokane and thanked
her (for the umpteenth time) for carrying the show. She said that they will
carry B5 "as long as they keep producing it". Now if I could only get them to
show earlier in the week...
Take care of those hands and wrists!

No, the only line was that "the Narn is recovering in Medlab," something
to that effect. Sigh....

Joe,
Have you any information on how many people have joined the fan club so far??
Also what % is US and what % is outside the US? Are the numbers what you
expected higher/lower?? Thanks.

Right now, without any advertising of note, mainly word of mouth, we've
got over 2,000 members so far. We're adding about 150 per day.

[ Summary: A user says he was disappointed by the promo for "Sic Transit
Vir," in that it gave away the whole dramatic turning point of the
episode. ]

Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI
Yeah, I wasn't happy with that aspect of the promo either (which was the
national spot, not cut by the stations). It's kinda like doing a promo for
Citizen Kane, "...it all began with a child's sled named Rosebud...."

That should be confirmed attendence at the *con*, not necessarily at

Fm: RAE AUGENSTEIN
Just saw Bruce Boxleitner and Melissa Gilbert give an interview (from the B5
set, nonetheless! <g>) on Entertainment Tonight. They mentioned that she would
be on an upcoming episode. Can you give any details? Which episode, who does
she play, etc.
Thanks!

Actually, Melissa appears in two episodes this season, toward the latter
part of the season, in an role that...it's just...well, words fail me.
Otherwise I'd tell you.

The ad was placed by WB, and you can leave a note for them via

[ Summary: Loves the show and asks two questions: 1) Is the pattern on the
Minbari heads a fractal? 2) Where, exactly, are the Shadows massing
on the Centauri border? ]
#: 494622 S6/Babylon 5: Upcoming
23-Apr-96 20:05:38
Sb: #494581-Question
Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI
It's not a fractal pattern, though you're right, it does kinda resemble
that. And the massing along the border was to delineate the line between the
two halves, as cut up by Morden and Londo. That may change, however....
